Impact of War and Violence on Children in A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah

Children who are victims of violence in the community are desperate, dangerous and skeptical. Historical events such as the war with terrorism, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the tragic event on September 11 have adversely affected the whole country including children. Each child is not directly affected by war, but it has an emotional impact on some people. Participation by a country devastated by war affects everyone in various ways, regardless of whether it is fear, anger, doubt, hope, love or not.

Beah, Ishmael made a big step forward. The memoir of a juvenile soldier made great progress. During the civil war, Ismail escaped from violence, just became a member of herself. Ishmael let you do something unthinkable when rebelists of rebels unified the front lines. After countless fighting and massacres, Ishmael is talking about his story. This book is really interesting. Readers learned about the real civil war in Sierra Leone, the inside of fighters and their feelings after they escaped destruction. We strongly recommend A Long Way Gone to those who want to be caught in a genuine attractive story. - Lease Fredericksen, grade 2020

One of the important themes in the "long way" is that participation in war has lost innocence. A Long Way Gone is a memoir of Ishmael Beah, a young boy struggling to survive in Sierra Leone. In order to survive, he eventually attacked the village from the hands of armed groups and killed everyone. One of the themes of "a long way" is that war brings revenge to the innocent people, destroys childhood, and war becomes part of their daily lives. - Richard Pike's "Far away from Chicago" "Long way to Chicago" is an adventurous and funny story.
